HIGHWAY: UK Met Office Operational Global Model Output

Summary

This data set includes a subset of output from the UK Met Office Operational Global Model over the HIGHWAY region around Lake Victoria. The model is run twice daily at 06 and 18 UTC at a horizontal resolution of approximately 10km and with 70 vertical levels. The following fields are included: three and six hourly precipitation amount, instantaneous precipitation rate, surface and vertical profiles (200, 500, 700, and 850mb) of wind components, temperature, and relative humidity and surface dew point temperature at hourly intervals from forecast hour 13 to 35. The data are in NetCDF format.
